Buddy of mine got a Vader TIE in a box of stuff... had silver markings for damage on it. Never realized they'd done a half-assed "weathering" on a Vader TIE ever. It was lamely done, so I didn't feel bad at not owning it.

Looking at the photo archives at the 'scum, the verison I got today is from Saga 2006, since it has solid green missiles and painted details on the hatch, cockpit interior and half-Darthed weathering. All three of mine are from 2006 onward, it seems.

Not sure about the weathering, but I like the POTF2 version's consistent coloration over the Saga's 3 shades of grey (body, wings and hatch...all different)

They've technically never done this ship in the correct light grey color it should be... Its model doesn't seem to have a ton of weathering either. A little, but nothing major (not counting the damaged version after the crash).

Got a box load of loose figures at a moving sale, mostly POTF, but some Episode 1, Saga 1 and Tartakovsky Clone Wars as well. Haven't even finished going through the box. Finally got some of the original 90's EU figures, Thrawn, Dark Empire Luke, Mara Jade, young Emperor and a Sentinel (had one already, MOC). They are decent, Luke and Palpatine seem less preposed than their comic pack versions (which is why I skipped the comic pack).
